Business Manager. I had the pleasure of speaking with Andres Picon Ardila for the purpose of writing this article, and it was immediately
clear why Andres Landscape is such a success. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and professional regarding the business, but his passion was evident. There was a real sense of pride in what they’ve accomplished: a multi-generational family legacy.

Back in 2004, Andres Picon Pacheco and his family moved to Oregon from Columbia and he immediately began working in the landscape industry. Inherently hard-working and ambitious, Andres soon struck out on his own and in 2007, with a total of 2 employees including Andres himself, Andres Landscape was born. From those humble beginnings, the company flourished and now employs over 40 people! Their family-friendly approach, superior customer service, and creative artistry have earned them the deserved reputation as a market leader in both residential and commercial landscaping.
In 2019, Andres’s son, Andres Picon Ardila, graduated college with a degree in finance and joined the team as the new
Andres Landscape offers a variety of services that run the gamut from smaller maintenance jobs all the way up to complete landscape renovations, redesigns, and construction projects. Maintenance work includes: turf management, lawn care, fertilization programs, weed control, pruning and trimming, and backflow testing to ensure you are county compliant. Design and construction work includes: hardscapes, patio covers, retaining walls, water features, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, and spas. They also do sod and irrigation installations, irrigation repairs, outdoor lighting, outdoor audio (stereo systems), plant design, preventative and/or restorative drainage systems, and one-time storm clean-ups. Everything is done with an ecofriendly and artistic flair, custom-designed to match each individual client’s specific needs and desires.
Creating a design for your outdoor space, whether it’s in a residential setting (front or back yard), or a commercial setting (business park), takes a keen eye. It requires extensive knowledge and experience to ensure you are making the most of the space while simultaneously avoiding
many of the common pitfalls these types of projects can generate. How often have you noticed trees improperly installed on properties where the surface-level roots buckle the sidewalks and make for hazardous walking conditions? Or improperly installed drainage systems which leave high-trafficked areas flooded during the rains?
Andres Landscape has a highlytrained and experienced design team to assist you in making all the
right choices; serving both form and function to provide superior curb appeal while still maintaining proper functionality. Their installers are the best in the business and can transform your property from banal to beautiful in the snap of a finger.

a nice dinner date with steak or prime rib or just grab a burger and some fish tacos,” Travis says. Halibut fish and chips are very popular among other tasty choices, including a half-pound burger with your choice of toppings, classic sandwiches, fresh salads, and hearty pasta dishes. On the higher end, Jarboe’s serves the highestquality proteins cooked to perfection. “With my steakhouse background, it’s important to me to offer the highest quality, prime-grade beef,” Travis explains. In addition to several premium-cut steaks, offerings include a succulent Pork Shank, a rack of lamb topped with chimichurri, miso-glazed grilled salmon, and more! A kid’s menu is available for little ones, and don’t forget about dessert! Choices include cheesecake, chocolate cake, or crème brûlée.
By Angie Helvey, Contributing Writer Photos by Andrew SambucetoThere’s a new restaurant in town, and Canbyites are going crazy for it! Jarboe’s Grill, located off Hwy 99E on the city’s north side, proudly serves up the highestquality steaks and family dining fare, complete with superior customer service and a bright, comfortable atmosphere that celebrates the Canby small-town vibe we all know and love.
Multi-restaurant proprietor Hank Jarboe has owned the property for almost 20 years and leased it to several businesses that mostly ran a roadhouse/bar-type establishment. This time, Hank contacted Travis Sauvain, a Canby native and high-end steakhouse restaurateur who left Oregon over ten years ago to run restaurants in other parts of the country, including Texas, New Orleans, and Montana. He’s known Hank since he was four when he and his family frequented the original Jarboe’s Grill, a Canby staple for nearly 14 years and where Travis and his two brothers landed their first jobs. “I started on my fifteenth birthday as a dishwasher for Hank, so we’ve known each other forever,” shares Travis. “He called and offered to bring me back to partner on the new Jarboe’s. Running a restaurant with the guy who started me in my hometown felt like the ‘perfect world’ situation.”
Jarboe’s lunch and dinner menu has something for everyone, no matter your mood, appetite, or budget. “Guests can have
The cocktail menu features a Smoked Old Fashioned, a Strawberry Rhubarb Moscow Mule, a French 75 they call the Pinky Out, and other delicious options inspired by Travis’s bartending history. In addition to a full bar, the restaurant features an impressive selection of local beer and wine. Customers can choose from 35 locally-made, affordable wines available by the glass or bottle and get 10% off any bottle on Wine Wednesdays! Jarboe’s also hosts a daily happy hour with discounted snacks and a dollar off all draft beer, wine by the glass, and well drinks.
Extensive improvements have been made to the building to create a friendly atmosphere for customers, and more changes are on the horizon. “Hank spent eight months remodeling, adding windows, building a new kitchen, and cleaning things up. We’re going for a warm, home-like environment,” says Travis. “We’ve added a kid’s gaming area and have been working
on redoing the old stage and dance floor so we can offer private dining events but still open it up and offer live music every month.” The next plan is a patio remodel so guests can enjoy outdoor seating in the warmer months.
Jarboe’s is already seeing many regular customers, and Travis is thrilled to be part of the Canby community again. “I never know who’s going to walk
through the door, and it could be friends I grew up with or teachers and coaches I knew in high school,” he says. “I love being part of such an amazing community. There’s been a lot of change, but in a way that has preserved its beauty and identity.”
Travis is committed to creating a dining experience for everyone to enjoy, which includes listening to customer feedback. “We’ve been adapting to what people are asking for and will continue to be fluid to accommodate a little bit of something for everyone,” he says. “Can you come here and have a great date night? Absolutely. But you can also bring your six kids and let them run around in the game area while you eat. We’re aiming for a welcoming space for the community.”
So, whether you’re a Canby local or passing through town on 99E, visit Jarboe’s Grill and come ready for incredible eats and libations, served in a fun and family-friendly venue owned and operated by Canby’s own!
Jarboe’s Grill is located at 22842 S Hwy 99 E in Canby. They’re open Sun-Wed 11AM-9PM, Thur-Sat 11AM10PM, and daily Happy Hour is 3-6PM. To view their menu, check out their website at jarboesgrill.com or give them a call at (503) 592-9057.

Since 1949, the goal of Portland Rescue Mission has always been to give hope and restore the lives of people who struggle with hunger, homelessness and addiction. Our Drive Away Hunger vehicle donation program plays a huge role in doing just that, as each car donated provides an average of about 580 meals to neighbors in need. More often than not a hot meal at our Burnside Shelter is our first opportunity to meet someone, learn their name, hear their story, and explore what additional support and services we can offer to help them become healthy and self-sufficient.
When a vehicle is donated to Portland Rescue Mission’s Drive Away Hunger program our staff will work alongside program participants to ensure that the car can pass a 70-point safety inspection.

After initial overtures to the University of Missouri were rejected, Universal Studios approached the University of Oregon, who agreed to permit filming on the campus for $20,000 and an agreement that the university not be identified in the movie. Universal also negotiated deals to use the houses of two fraternities located just off campus on the 700 block of East 11th Avenue. The Delta fraternity house was set in the Eugene Halfway House located between the two fraternities. The city of Cottage Grove, twenty miles south of Eugene, also got in on the fun. City officials agreed to close down Main Street for three days for the filming of the movie’s dramatic homecoming parade scene.
By Robert Matsumura, Contributing WriterIf you’ve ever wondered how the song “Shout” became a wildly popular tradition at University of Oregon football games, one need only watch “National Lampoon’s Animal House” to see the tie-in. But what does this outrageous comedic classic from the 1970s have to do with U of O? Unbeknownst to many people today, the movie starring Jim Belushi of “Saturday Night Live” fame was shot primarily on the U of O campus.
In the fall of 1977 the producers of “Animal House,” a movie that was to become one of the most successful American film comedies of all time — were searching for a college campus as the setting for their story about the scandalous Delta Tau Chi fraternity and the madcap chaos it wreaked on fictional Faber College.
In October of 1977 the cast and crew arrived in the area, settling at the Rodeway Inn in nearby Springfield. The movie was a showcase for Belushi, who had recently risen to fame due to “Saturday Night Live,” and featured Donald Sutherland as well, who played the role of an English professor on campus. “Animal House” was also the film debut for Kevin Bacon and Karen Allen, both of whom went on to enjoy major success in numerous hit movies. In addition to these famous Hollywood names, Tom Hulce (of “Amadeus” fame) and Tim Matheson (of the ’60s “Johnny Quest” series, and more recently, “The West Wing”) also played minor roles. Behind the scenes, “Animal House” was the first major Hollywood movie for director John Landis, who subsequently brought hit movies such as “Trading Places,” “The Blues Brothers,” “An American Werewolf in London,” and others to the big screen.
Auditions for extras were held on the U of O campus, and 150 men and 50 women were chosen to appear in the film. The students were paid $2.30 an hour, and the male extras were instructed to have their hair cut in the style of college students from 1962. Filming of the movie commenced on October 24 at the Sigma Nu house, where the majority of interior shots of the fictitious Delta house were taken. U of O President Boyd’s office was used for that of Dean Wormer, the enemy of the Deltas. The Dexter Lake Club, located 20 miles east of Eugene, served as the locale for the movie’s “road trip” scene, where the Deltas take their dates to hear their favorite R&B band called Otis Day and the Knights.
During his off hours Belushi befriended Portland blues legend Curtis Salgado, who helped fuel Belushi’s passion for the blues, which in turn led to the subsequent movie, “The Blues Brothers,” starring both Belushi and Dan Akroyd. While filming “Animal House,” Belushi and his wife, Judy, also had dinner with Oregon author Ken Kesey (“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”) at his home in nearby Pleasant Hill.
“National Lampoon’s Animal House” premiered in New York
City on July 24, 1978, and in Portland in August of the same year, with many of the movie’s extras in attendance. The movie was the second most popular film in 1978 and a remarkable financial success. Produced for under $3 million, “Animal House” grossed $140 million in the U.S. and Canada. So successful was “Animal House” that it spawned a whole genre of zany, overthe-top comedies focused on younger audiences. Aside from one’s cinematic preferences, “Animal House” ranked 36th on the
American Film Institute’s list of the hundred greatest film comedies of all time. In 2001, the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Although “Delta House” was torn down in 1986 and replaced by another building, a bronze plaque still marks the site for posterity. The old Sigma Nu house still stands. The building is now home to the Northwest Christian University’s School of Professional Studies, but if you peer through the front door you can still see the stairwell where Belushi’s character, Bluto, bashed a hole in the wall with the guitar of a student playing folk music.
Despite the fact that the University of Oregon initially attempted to downplay its involvement
in the movie, “Animal House” has actually become a part of U of O’s popular culture and is even marketed as a feature of the school’s identity. Locations from the movie are pointed out on campus tours, and Otis Day and the Knight’s version of “Shout” is belted out by the audience at Duck football games. To this day, people in both Eugene, and Cottage Grove, take great pride in their town’s participation in this American comedy classic.
So, the next time you witness Duck fans singing “Shout” at a U of O football game, or happen to watch “Animal House” on television, know that this wild, raucous and influential movie was filmed close to home, right here in the state of Oregon in the southern Willamette Valley.

“So that’s really what we’re doing here, creating an environment where people can come and make those generational memories, connect with their community and have a greater understanding of the importance of agriculture and where our food comes from.”
To Brian, bridging the urban-rural divide is not only a critical component of the mission of county fairs — it’s really something that tends to happen only at the county fair.
“Because it’s really only at the county fair where most people who are not farmers have the chance to come and see firsthand the work that is put into raising that meat or produce that they buy at the grocery store,” Brian says. “And not only that, they get to meet the farmers and the families that do that work. A big part of why I do this is because I understand how important that is, and I want the urban and rural parts of our community to get together and understand each other.”
After a record-breaking fair and rodeo season in 2022, Brian and his team are primed and ready to unfurl yet another showstopping event. Since coming on board last year, Brian says he has been careful not to make any big changes, but rather focus on improving and expanding certain elements with the goal of adding to the overall guest experience for fairgoers.
By Tyler Francke, Contributing Writer
No summer would be complete without a visit to the one and only Clackamas County Fair and Rodeo this August at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds in Canby.
Only there can you find everything a county fair was meant to be: from the livestock and agricultural displays, where the farmers and youngsters who toil all year to work the land and feed our country showcase the fruits of their labor, to the pulse-pounding carnival rides, the unmatched thrill of man against nature in the Canby Rodeo, or the inspired performances of musicians and entertainers playing for their favorite hometown crowd.
As Clackamas County Fairgrounds and Event Center Executive Director Brian Crow loves to say, he’s not in the entertainment or even the event business: he’s in the business of making generational memories.
“You know, I clearly recall going to the fair with my parents, and my mom forcing me to go on the Sky Diver with her,” Brian says with a laugh. “I don’t like that stuff, but she had a blast. My mom’s in her 80s now, and we can’t do that anymore, but we have those memories for a lifetime.”
Last year’s addition of a rodeo after-party on Friday and Saturday nights proved extremely popular, so this year’s fair will feature it as a follow-up to every night of world-class rodeo action in the Canby Rodeo Arena.
The fair has also added a number of the finest strolling and stage entertainment acts around, including Washboard Willie, Hillia the Hula Hoop Extraordinaire, the Wandering Outlaws, Rock & Roll Cowboys, and the Jessie Leigh Band.
Longtime attendees may note some slight changes to the event’s layout this year, particularly around the food vendors and rodeo grounds, made to streamline the flow and reduce congestion.
This year’s fair will also lean into its reputation as a showcase for local creatives and masters of the hobby arts like never before, including featuring a new art competition between Clackamas County elementary school students, with the winning schools taking home cash prizes in support of their art programs.
Kicking off with the delightful Canby Kiwanis Kiddie Caper Parade at 10 a.m. Tuesday, August 15, each day of the fair will feature a different
theme, with associated discounts or free admission to select groups. The first day is Family Day, with kids 12 and under getting free tickets with their participation in the Kiddie Caper Parade.
Wednesday is Senior Citizen Day, followed by First Responders Day, Military Appreciation Day and culminating with Agriculture Day, which will also serve to spotlight and kick off the Clackamas County Junior Livestock Auction at 10 a.m.
All five nights will feature the Canby Rodeo beginning at 7:30 p.m., with most — if not all — seats expected to sell out, so purchasing your tickets in advance is strongly encouraged.
“If you’ve never seen the Canby Rodeo, it really is amazing,” Brian says. “I’d definitely encourage you to come and check it out. They put on a great show.”
The Clackamas County Fair and Rodeo will be held from August 15 through the 19th. The Clackamas County Fairgrounds is located at 694 Northeast 4th Avenue in Canby. For more information or tickets, visit clackamascountyfair.com.

The comics industry has a growing roster of Asian, AfricanAmerican and Latino artists who have a hand in creating the books that land in comic book stores every day. That wasn’t always the case, but way back in the 1940s one trailblazing immigrant from Puerto Rico made Marvel Comics his artistic home. And in the early 1960s, he adopted Newberg as his actual home.
Today, the non-descript ranch house at 608 N. Meridian Street in Newberg is housing for George Fox University undergraduates. This is Schomburg House, named for Alex Schomburg, who moved there in 1962. Although most of his comic book work was behind him by then, he was still a working artist.
Schomburg was born on May 10, 1905 in Puerto Rico to Guillermo Schomburg and Francisa Rosa, one of seven children and six sons. They were a prosperous family, and able to move Alex to New York when he was 12. He attended public school in Harlem, and in 1923 he and three brothers started their own art studio.
He found his way into the comic book world by freelancing. His black-and-white illustrative work started showing up in the pages of some of the early pulps — Radio Craft, Popular Western and Thrilling Adventures, among others.
He was in an ideal position to ride the wave of a publishing industry that swelled in the late 1930s; the precursor to Marvel, Martin Goodman’s Timely
Comics, began publishing stories about characters with names like the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner, and during WWII, Captain America.
From the late 1930s into the mid-1940s, Alex produced more than 500 comic book covers, including all but about a dozen of the first 69 issues of the Marvel Mystery Comics series. A generation of American kids who grew up reading and later collecting Golden Age comics were likely to have seen his covers.
His work was imaginative, splashy and highly detailed, perfect for the eye-grabbing mission of a comic book cover on a magazine rack. Ron Goulart, author of “Comic Book Culture: An Illustrated History,” called Alex “the Heironymous Bosch of comics.”
At the website for the Estate of Alex Schomburg, you’ll find a testimonial from one of the artist’s biggest fans, Stan Lee himself.
“I’ve always felt Alex Schomburg was to comic books what Norman Rockwell was to the Saturday Evening Post,” Lee wrote. “He was totally unique with an amazing, distinctive style…we used to wonder how he managed to get so much detail in every cover.”
Alex had another claim to fame — he was among the artists who worked with director Stanley Kubrick in the 1960s on the visual design for “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
Today, you can find Schomburg’s work at Marvel Unlimited, the online repository of the comic giant’s catalog and read more about him at AlexSchomburg.com.
Annual city event set for Aug. 26
In 2017, the Molalla City Council embarked on creating a vision and action plan. The plan would be a road map for Molalla from 2020 to 2030. The project reached an important milestone in July 2018 with the idea of a city celebration.
In the span of two months, a group of residents, including a city councilor and a few community builders, put their heads together to plan the event. They visited festivals to find vendors, found musical performers, developed ideas for free kids’ crafts, and, in the end, put on a celebration that covered three city blocks. It was the largest street festival in the history of Molalla.
Approximately 2,500 people enjoyed the celebration in 2018, tasting treats, buying crafts, listening to music and enjoying the small community. Visitors also came from far and wide.
At the end of that first year, the organizers knew they had something special. The following years brought more vendors, more food trucks, more musicians and more excitement. The word spread to outlying areas, and vendors from all over Oregon and Southwest Washington began to join in the fun.
“Celebrate Molalla is truly a grassroots festival borne out of deep passion for this community. Organizers are local volunteers, and vendors are generally from the Molalla area. The festival started as an idea and has grown into something truly special.”
MOLALLA CITY MANAGER DAN HUFFCelebrate Molalla grew to cover six city blocks and included not only contemporary artists and artisans, but also vendors who promoted the rich history of Molalla. Many community service organizations also offered resource information at booths.
On Aug. 26, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the 2023 celebration will be hosted in a new location: Clark Park, 815 Shirley Street. With more space, the food and drink court will be expanded. The Corn Hole Tournament also will be bigger, and kids’ activities now will be located in one single area. Musicians with major local followings will be performing and a great variety of vendors will be selling their wares.
If you are interested in being a vendor, registration is open until Aug. 10 and can be found at https://bit.ly/43pvi6Y.
“Be who you are right now.” Road trip movies are a definite summer vibe, and “Toy Story 4” is no exception. I grew up with these movies — I was 8 when “Toy Story” was released — and the 4th installment is still plenty fun and holds up after so many movies. The family and the toys embark on an adventurous road trip — and Woody and Buzz discover they have to babysit the new homemade toy, Forky, and it’s no easy task, as Forky is determined to wander off and devastate Bonnie. Low and behold, the toys get lost (shock!), reunite with some old friends and get into all kinds of adventurous mishaps. Where “Toy Story 3” was a bit heartbreaking for parents with its “empty nest” theme, “Toy Story 4” looks at the past with more nostalgia and sepia tones, and to the future with hope. Fun for the whole family. Rated G.
“I lost my temper at myself.” With the idiosyncratic design and nostalgic eye of director Wes Anderson, this magically-scored and visually stunning comingof-age comedy-romance features a boy scout and his girlfriend who run away to prove and explore their maturity. Their absence incites an immediate search party, which, on the island, involves the entire town. The story takes place at a New England summer camp with a mid-century vibe — yellow, idyllic and perfectly emotive for those late summer goodbyes. There’s romance, heartbreak and crisscrossing narratives abound. The always stunning cast includes Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Jason Schwartzman, Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward and many more. Good for older kids and adults. Rated PG-13 for smoking and mature content.
“Always do the right thing.” Set in Brooklyn’s BedfordStuyvesant neighborhood, on the hottest day of the year in 1986, Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” is a powerful drama and “slice of life” that’s incredibly shot and acted, and an inside look at the racial tensions of the late ‘80s. Sal (Danny Aiello), who runs an Italian pizza shop in the mainly Black neighborhood, is challenged by Buggin Out (Giancarlo Esposito) who notices that the shop features only photos of Italian movie stars and no Black actors. And for them, locals and/or patrons of the shop, the wall comes to represent hate and systemic racism. As the temperature climbs, so do tempers and racial tensions. Also starring Spike Lee himself, Richard Edson, John Turturro, Rosie Perez, Samuel L. Jackson and many more. Late teens and adults only. Rated R for violence, language and mature content.
“When we see a red sky at night, this means that the setting sun is sending its light through a high concentration of dust particles. This usually indicates high pressure and stable air coming in from the west. Basically good weather will follow.”

To ensure patient satisfaction and peace of mind, Smile Linn Dental utilizes only the highest quality crowns and filling materials. This commitment to excellence ensures that patients can trust the materials used in their dental procedures. Recognizing that teeth are a precious resource, the dental team at Smile Linn Dental approaches fillings, crowns, and treatments conservatively and with meticulous care. Before commencing any treatment, patients are provided with a detailed treatment plan, thoroughly discussed and understood by all parties involved. “The difference between mediocrity and excellence is attention to detail,” asserts Dr. Ibsies, who draws inspiration from Sebastian J. Barbarito. This quote encapsulates his approach to both life and dentistry.
By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos by Brittney WatermanWe do dentistry from the heart!” proclaims Dr. Fadi Ibsies, the owner of Smile Linn Dental located in West Linn. With an unwavering commitment to his community, Dr. Ibsies has been recognized as one of Portland Monthly’s Top Dentists in an annual survey conducted by his peers since 2010. While dental practices are increasingly falling into the hands of corporate entities, Smile Linn Dental remains proudly privately owned.
At Smile Linn Dental’s cutting-edge facility, patients receive a personalized dental experience coupled with the latest technological advancements. Dr. Ibsies, a prominent figure in West Linn’s dental landscape, founded his practice in 2006 on the fundamental principle of treating every patient like family. Remarkably, the dedicated staff at Smile Linn Dental has remained unchanged since its inception 17 years ago, a testament to the familial atmosphere fostered by Dr. Ibsies.
Dr. Ibsies embarked on his dental journey after graduating from OHSU and subsequently moved to Scottsdale, AZ, where his wife Azza pursued her PhD in molecular biology. Their union led them to Oregon, where Smile Linn Dental was established, coinciding with the birth of their son. Today, their family has grown to include another son, and Dr. Ibsies has further expanded his professional endeavors. In January 2020, he opened Smile Oswego Dental, a second practice with his dental partner, Dr. Marcus Uchida, also a proud OHSU graduate, unaware of the impending Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges posed by the crisis, Smile Oswego Dental has thrived, exemplifying Dr. Ibsies’ and Dr. Uchida’s resilience and adaptability. Additionally, Dr. Ibsies is the founder of a software company that holds an impressive 14 patents for charting software designed for dental and medical professionals. Currently in the Beta testing phase at his offices, this innovative software promises to enhance the efficiency of healthcare providers. Dr. Ibsies also serves as an advisor to multiple emerging software startups.
Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Ibsies actively participates in his community, serving as a sponsor for numerous local events.
